Washington Spirit owner Michele Kang makes $30 million investment in U.S. Soccer women’s and girls’ programs

U.S. Soccer announced Tuesday that it has accepted a $30 million gift from Washington Spirit owner Michele Kang, which marks the largest philanthropic investment in women’s and girls’ soccer in the federation’s history.
Kang joined CBS Mornings alongside U.S. Soccer Federation president Cindy Parlow Cone to break the news of her investment, and also stopped by CBS Sports Golazo Network’s Morning Footy to discuss the donation. Her investment will be spread out over a five year period. Funds from her gift will fuel U.S. Soccer’s efforts to recruit and develop young players, as well as increase opportunities for women who are pursuing careers as coaches, referees and technical staff members.
